Snake Spring by Nikolai Lebedev and genre conventions of slasher films

Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to determine whether the successful film Snake Spring, directed by Nikolai Lebedev, can be considered the first slasher of Russian production. Slasher, as a subgenre of horror films, is not a typical phenomenon in Russian cinematography (or even more so Soviet), and its roots should be sought primarily in American culture and filmography.In this text, the author, first of all, focuses on the slasher as such, presents his distinguishing features and lists the most important pictures of the world’s cinematography representing this par-ticular subgenre.
